The time has been taken to ensure a high degree of accuracy on the machined splines on
all genuine Suzuki engine sprockets, meaning they are perfectly matched to the gearbox
output shaft on your bike.

The damper is bonded to the sprocket, which reduces the drive noise and creates a smooth
transition for the chain as it is pulled onto the sprocket. The use of high quality steel
and accurate machining of teeth prolongs both chain and sprocket life.

Non-genuine engine sprockets do not always have a damper and are therefore nosier and
more prone to vibration than a genuine Suzuki sprocket. This can have a knock-on effect
if splines are not machined accurately because the vibration can cause the sprocket nut
to become loose.

Any engine will have an oil system that is designed to operate at a set pressure and will
have internal flow rates carefully worked out. It is therefore essential that a filter
exceeds these flow rates but still provides adequate filtration. Essentially two
conflicting goals.

Genuine Suzuki brake pads have a finer grain structure and the material is developed with
the material of the genuine Suzuki disc in mind. This is very important as the pad is
designed to wear at a much greater rate than the disc.

Suzuki pads come complete with shims. Both the friction material and the backing plates
are designed to cope with the heat generated during braking. Any heat transfers will be
carefully calculated so as not to transfer large amounts of heat to the caliper and
fluid.

Non-genuine Suzuki brake pads have a courser grain structure – high friction co-efficient
friction material – may lead to improved braking, however, every part of a Suzuki brake
system is designed to give progression / feel and force to the braking experience.

Often high friction pads lead to harsh braking. High friction material also leads to
rapid wear on the disc surface requiring more frequent replacement.

Lack of braking shims also often lead to increased noise and vibration.

Weight is important and needs to be as low as possible so it helps reduce the unsprung
weight. The lighter the weight, the quicker the suspension will react. Genuine parts are
designed at the same time as the bike, so everything is in harmony. This is not always
the case with non genuine parts.

Genuine Suzuki brake discs also match the frictional properties of the disc with the pads
for best braking and durability; again this is not always the case with cheaper non genuine
options.

When designed, the hole patterns, which are not just for show, have a purpose to disperse
the water quickly and efficiently. If the holes are too large this can lead to increased
wear.

With non genuine discs you cannot always be sure that they will be compatible with OEM brake
pads, that the correct material has been used or that they have been designed solely with
your bike in mind.

This oil seal is double lipped with a double spring ring each end so this wipes the fork stantion both up and down. Designed at the same time as the bike and tested to extremes to ensure the best possible performance. This will enable the seal to perform at is optimum throughout the part's life.

Non-Genuine

Double sided but with only one spring so will only wipe the fork stantion once either up or down not both ways. This means it is more prone to weather and dirt ingress. This could lead to potential wear of the fork stations over time. The non genuine seal will also wear quicker than the original one. Whilst these parts can be cheaper, they won’t last as long as the original so you could end up with more expenses from changing the part more frequently.
